– Starting lineup for Saturday includes Ronald Acuña Jr. in right field, Mauricio Dubón in center, Matt Olson at first, Ozzie Albies at second, Dansby Swanson at shortstop, Marrif Yastrzemski in left, Alejandro Wynns catching, and starter S. Strider on the mound.
– Dubón is currently batting .259 with 57 hits, six home runs, 36 RBIs, and 26 runs across his first 60 games of the season.
– The Braves won Friday’s game 6-3, and Harris is not in Saturday’s lineup, making Dubón the primary center fielder as the series continues.
